I dd the images to floppy, and then try to start up from them, but in both cases, the boot proceeds for about 15 secs and then the machine does a soft reboot. It never gets past the "spinning slash" stage. Any recommendations? Hardware is HP Vectra VL2 4/66 with Buslogic ISA SCSI-2 controller and SMC Elite 16 ether card. -sam
